When I give the car gas I get this smell like I am burning oil or exhuast fumes in my car. I heard that it could be something with some gaskets around the turbos, but I am not sure what it is. Help!!

you will need to do a leak down test to find out what is wrong.

if you look at your turbo you should be able to tell, its usually the valve stem seals or your rings are shot if not the turbo.

Look under your car for fluids getting on the exhaust.
When you are pushing hard your exhaust will heat up and burn off oil farther back.
